Standing Committees

Standing committees are established by the Chair and continue to operate until terminated by the Chair or until their mandate has been fulfilled. Each standing committee makes its written recommendations to the Board through the Committee Chair as often as required. Unless the matter is time-sensitive such reports are usually made in the month following the committee meeting. Meetings of standing committees are usually scheduled in conjunction with the monthly Regional Board meetings and are open to the public.

Select Committees

The Regional Board will occasionally establish select committees for the purpose of investigating a specific matter and reporting back with its findings. Each select committee makes its written recommendations to the Board through the Committee Chair as often as required. Once it has accomplished its task the select committee is automatically dissolved. Meetings of select committees are normally scheduled by the Committee Chair and are open to the public.

Current select committees:

Cultural Services Advisory Committee

Public Safety Operations Group

While the Regional Board may appoint anyone it wishes to a select committee, at least one member must be a director on the Regional Board.

Special Purpose Advisory Committees

Special purpose advisory committees may be established when technical or other specialized advice is required by the Board.
